Woman sues San Diego County over father's death in jail | cbs8.com

If we lived in a just society there would be a full criminal investigation into this man's death, along with the 215 others.

I see the murderers of Tiananman Square have got very upset at Nancy Pelosi going to Taiwan.

Zealandia comments on Aug 2, 2022:

Interesting how China is overreacting so much to a relatively minor event. Seems like the Chinese Government is.currently feeling vulnerable. I don’t think a visit by Nancy Pelosi warrants that level of response.

anglophone replies on Aug 2, 2022:

I see China as being highly ambitious. I also see China as over-reacting to anything that it sees as even the slightest threat to its ambitions. Listening to the rhetoric coming out of Beijing, it seems to me that it is quite prepared to reduce the whole of Taiwan to rubble and dust, this to make the people of Taiwan submit to the will of Beijing. I see China as making the same mistake in Taiwan as I see the USA making in Afghanistan. You can kill people, but you cannot kill a culture.

I could maybe see if he called you a bitch but calling you a fucking bitch? That just seems like overkill. If I was you I'd correct him. Tell him you're a bitch, not a fucking bitch. Put him in his place.

@MizJ Some parts of the English speaking world would use "missus" as an equally polite equivalent to "ma'am". Better yet he could have said "Sorry about that" to you.

Apparently I made a post, that was in opposition of a few (maybe many) fellow members here.

I indulged just for kicks. I scored under 11, so no narcissism detected. However, I scored high in self-sufficiency which I've been told turns men off, so there's that.

anglophone replies on Jul 30, 2022:

I hit the 0-11 range. I have an acquaintance who comes across as highly self-sufficient - she has had two highly unsatisfactory marriages. She very occasionally shows a tiny bit of vulnerability, and then "clams up" again - I feel that she does not want any emotional closeness. I regard that as her choice, and I perforce respect that choice.

The lower levels of the pyramid are crumbling, no longer able to fully support the elites at the upper levels, they will eventually abandon and scatter to other parts of the world leaving behind the citizens to suffer as they themselves justify their greed. This is a sample of our future. Be ...

This is plagiarism. Preface your quotations with the date and source, preferably a link. I was just about to rip you a new one. I'll reserve that sentiment in case you earn it another time.

@LovinLarge Agreed. Other forms of indication are also available to @ErichZannIII.

There seems to be a trend of belief without evidence. 🙄

I wonder if there been a rise, or if social media has just made it more obvious. Going back perhaps 300 years or so, every village has its idiot.

Had a very interesting and enjoyable surprise trip yesterday.

Funny that. A thorough kicking in the goolies tends to do that to most blokes. And he got what he so richly deserved. You paint a wonderful picture of a place of luxury. :)

Flyingsaucesir comments on Jul 5, 2022:

Sounds like many other cases of Christian Science medical neglect. I wonder if they are beginning to put 2 and 2 together and question if there is a God, or at least why the supposedly omnipotent deity chose to ignore their prayers. Well that may be giving them too much credit.

That poor little girl! Does Australia have a death penalty?

I doubt that the religitards that forced their insane beliefs on those 12 will be charged with being accessories to murder. :(

> Gun violence in Chicago tends to rise over holiday weekends as the hot weather sends people outdoors. In 2021, more than 100 people were shot and 17 killed over the Fourth of July weekend in the city of Chicago. I think it has become too dangerous for public events, like a parade, and they ...

redbai comments on Jun 29, 2022:

You have to wonder what kind of secret training are they doing where one of their own ends up beaten to death. What scenario are they training for where cops beat someone until they need to be hospitalized and why is it secret?

It's a warm up exercise for the murder of gays, lesbians, people of colour, trans men, trans women, speakers of other languages, and anybody else that upsets the extremist lunatics in power.

It's tough watching the US unravelling before our eyes in real time. I wouldn't have thought this would happen in my lifetime, but everything now happens at an accelerated pace, including empire disintegration. These regular mass shootings are symptomatic in my view of a society that is sick to the...
